All compositions were recorded between 1997 - 2001 using generative algorithms based on chaos and complexity theory. These systems were initially prototyped on Acorn machines using the BASIC programming language. Apple machines running Max were used in the later stages. The algorithms were drawn from (among others) 1 and 2 dimensional Cellular Automata, Lorenz and other strange attractors, various mathematical functions/surfaces of 1 to 3 dimensions, 1/f Voss noise generator and the Logistic equation.
